Global Marine Technology Trends 2030 - report available

Global Marine Technology Trends 2030 was released in early September 2015 and is the culmination of a collaborative project between Lloyd's Register, QinetiQ and the University of Southampton. The report is available to interested parties free of charge.

It looks at the future for: commercial shipping - without which world trade would cease; navies - so vital for security; and the health of the oceans - the vital resource for energy, food, minerals and, indeed, life that defines the future well-being of the planet.

The report examines the transformative impact of 18 technologies on ship design, on naval power and on the use of ocean space in 2030 and it highlights three aspects:

* Momentum and capability for a significant evolution in ship design and operation is now building - the report presents design scenarios for commercial ships in 2030.

* By 2030 the fastest and most radical impacts are likely to be felt in the development of naval ships and systems where maritime autonomous systems are driving the biggest revolution in maritime security in over a century.

* Understanding the world's oceans is more essential than ever to secure the future of our planet.
